Instructional Ideas

  • Implement these lessons with special needs students that require extra help developing their social skills
  • Use the handouts that offer tips for communicating as classroom displays, helping to remind students of these important skills

Classroom Considerations

  • Though intended for use with a therapy group, this resource can be used by teachers and school counselors as well
  • The lesson uses British English so some learners may be confused by words like programme and practise

Pros

  • Each lesson includes supporting worksheets and handouts
  • Lessons offer detailed procedures with questions for guiding group discussions
  • Sentence frames and role-playing exercises are offered that support the development of speaking and listening skills

Cons
